"Hehe, I liked reading your blog posts. I was also in a relationship for 10 years and have 2 kids. I lost all my hair during that time. It was interesting starting to date again. I actually met my husband online but didn't have a bald date until…"

Emily Horsley commented on Terri's blog post Going bold and bald"That's fantastic, I shouldn't laugh but I remember doing the same thing, wearing a swimming cap in the sauna and wearing a woolly hat in the middle of summer to hold my wig in place, can't help but laugh at those days now :D Love the…"
Toni Warne commented on Emily Horsley's blog post I am me!"Emily that's made me chuckle!!!! Because I totally hear your frustration... People like to make an association because it makes them feel good because actually they genuinely want to make 'You' feel good... but of course it has the…"
Emily Horsley commented on Christa M.'s blog post Looking for a job"Write to them asking for constructive feedback on your interview and specifically ask what lead them to the final decision of recruiting the other person. You'll hopefully get some good advice on what to do for your next interview. Good luck on…"
Emily Horsley commented on Lisa-Lynn Marini's blog post Need some advice plz"The best advice I could think of was to say - Ditch the ciggies! They are very very BAD for you and everyone else in your household. Back in the days when I wore a wig and smoking in bars was not against the law (distant memory now) I used to peg…"
Emily Horsley commented on Erika's blog post Steroid shots"I had the steroid shots as a teenager when I had AA, only affecting about 5 - 10% of my head. They did nothing for me, just made it painful to lie on for a few days after. Evening Primrose with starflower oil capsules made the hair I still had…"
Cheryl, Co-founder commented on Emily Horsley's blog post I am me!"Yes, I agree that can be aggravating. But to be honest when I first started with alopecia, I really had a hard time distinguishing one person from another. Now I must say that I look at features a lot more now. My problem is that most people…"
Emily Horsley posted a blog postI am me!
So, just wanted to share a little grievance with you all and then you can all tell me I'm over reacting - but it's really got my back up. Toni Warne = fantastic singer currently on talent show 'The Voice'. She's beautiful, talented and by appearing bald and talking about her alopecia - she's raising awareness for our condition which is totally lordable. However, If one more person tells me she reminds them of me or vice versa, I think I may scream!!!! Just because we have no hair, I'm sure…See More

Engagement
Posted on February 18, 2011 at 5:28am 2 Comments 0 Favorites
Hehe, I'm so excited - I'm getting married! The date is set for 6th August 2011 and I can't wait.
I already have my dress, however I'm struggleing for ideas on what to do with my head! I don't wear a wig and have nothing to attach a veil to but I feel like I need something purely for decoration, any ideas?
Does anyone have any pictures of their special days?
Thanks for any help x

My first 'Bald' date!
Posted on September 2, 2009 at 1:45pm 4 Comments 0 Favorites
I've been in a elationship for the past 10 years and it recently ended. During that relationship I'd lost al my hair so my partner had gone through al the trauma and supported me through it. Now I found myself single and bald and dating seemed completely daunting. Then a ew weeks ago I met someone on facebook ompletely by accident - a friend of a friend. We ended up chatting and found we had loads in common so he asked me on a date! I asumed he knew about my baldnes because of my profile… Continue
Out & Proud

As of Wednesday last week I have ditched the wig and am wearing my bald head with pride. So far the response has been great. All was revealled at work fo the first time on Monday and everyone couldn't believe it but then said how much better and more confident I look!
Walking in to my local shop, meeting my friends at the pub, playing hockey, anythng - I'm not bothered about people seeing the real me - Best decision I ever made!

Lynn Herrod said… - Strange so many of us decided to come "out" recently. I just kick myself for not having done it 15 years ago, although it did not seem to be as accepted back then, think all the Gail Porter press coverage did a lot of good.

- Hi Emily,
I love the description of being "out" - I used it in connection with The National Bald Out: "Come out of the wig closet", and "See you OUT there!"
I've been thinking for awhile of starting a new AW Group for everyone who goes out in public bald. Would you mind if I use the title of your Discussion, "Out & Proud" for the name of a Group?
Thanks,
Mary

Karina said… - Thanks a million!! Emily, you are very sweet and I appreciate a lot your comment!! Im a very insecure, too sensitive person and this makes me feel very depressed. In a rush I bought a machine-made natural hair wig and I found it a bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

- Thanks Emily a lot!! I have telogen effluvium and Im very scared to lose all my hair..I don´t know what to tell people if that happens...How do you deal that?Did U immediately put on a wig? Have you ever found stupid people that noticed that noticed that U have a wig? I´m a veryperson..
